REDO

Okay, I am drawing a blank trying to name this post.. 

So Redo it is. 

My Dad brought me this UGLY lamp. 

He got it for FREE! YAY Dad! 

He moved a huge library and they were throwing it out. 

He thought of me and snatched it up. 

First thing first... 

I ripped off the shade and 

found a  lovely skeleton. 

I was debating about leaving her like this 

and painting the brass lamp...

I had seen a long time ago somewhere on a blog...

(forgive me I can't recall where) 

She took the shade ripped strips and covered it in that. 

So I went to my stash and found these Heather Bailey fabric 

that I have had for a while. 

I thought that would be pretty. 

and started at it. 

Ripping and tying... 

and Voila... when it was done...

I HATED it. 

Looked horrible. 

See....  

that wasn't right. 

so again this morning I thought oh... put the strips on

the other direction. 

So I pulled the entire thing apart and started to  

REDO 

the shade. 

and voila again... 

I loved it. 

I still may just paint that lamp... not sure yet. 

I kinda liked the brass .

I will live with her a while and then decide. 

not sure if I am going to leave it up on the mantel.. 

I kind of like it up there. 

I need one more small globe to add to my collection. 

The other night a jewelry commercial came on... 

Kay jewelers I think... they were showing a husband giving his wife some

diamond heart necklace.. 

(something I would NEVER want) 

I told Dom, instead of the necklace for Valentines day

he could just get me a small globe. 

He laughed.
